Donald "Cadet Bonespurs" Trump:

"Avoiding STDs was like my personal vietnam"

Here's what his "hoax investigation" has already done with only more to come:

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russians during the 2016 campaign and is cooperating with the Mueller investigation.

Former foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russians during the 2016 campaign and is cooperating with the Mueller investigation.

Former deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates is reportedly on the verge of signing a plea agreement and cooperating with Mueller. Gates faces a variety of charges, including money laundering and other financial crimes.

13 Russians have been indicted on participating in a broad-scale attempt to throw the election to Trump.

All this and the President will not admit any involvement from Russia and will not impose sanctions that were nearly unanimously voted on with bipartisan support.

I only knew him as the former FBI directer. Knowing all this makes the smear campaign against him even more disgusting.

You said that no Trump campaign officials were indicted.

This is a very nice picture. He will always be remembered...Is he a friend of yours?

Are you Peter Wang? No.

Is this picture and homage already on the front page of reddit, yes.

Are you a new account on reddit, no.

The fuck. You're as bad as the journalist that was salivating at exclusives from the kid on snapchat during the shooting, except less organized.

Edit: Aaannnd you down voted me off the bat - look at OP's history, they already banked 300 points on the same pic 2 hours earlier on the same subreddit. Fucking if anyone had to die in a tragedy, it was you - capitalizing on empathy.

The previous post was removed for trying to elicit sympathy.

OP's trying again.

But you're totally right. Front page is full of pictures of the victims trying to garner the sympathy karma

America has a massive problem with guns but the majority seem to stick their heads in the sand hoping it'll all go away.
It's not going away - and more kids are going to be killed before this year is through. There is going to be at least 2 more school shootings. There will be at least one more mass shooting on a large scale.

This is all Middle East shit, but within the USA.

The worst part is not caring about gun safety around children. I grew up hunting, and I had to take a safety course every year or so to keep my youth license. I had my own guns, but I was never allowed to take them out without permission, and I didn't have access to the key for the locker myself. I almost always hunted supervised, the only time that didn't really happen was if there happened to be a turkey right in the yard, and even then my dad watched from the window.

I was bullied a lot as a kid, but because of my gun safety lessons, it never seriously crossed my mind to try and bring a gun to school. When I was suicidal, sometimes I thought about shooting myself, but there was no feasible way that I could do that because of the trouble I'd have to go through to both get my gun and to be alone with it. We also watched a video in the safety class that showed very graphic images of a murder, a suicide, a necessary police action that resulted in someone dying in the hospital, and a serious hunting accident. Stomaching it on video was enough to deter me from being interested in doing that in real life.

I am a hardened old man, but this gets to me for some reason. The bastard that did this shot a bunch of kids and then surrendered to the cops. Bang it out with the cops and leave the kids alone, or better yet, just blow your defective brain out the back of your skull. bastard.

People are supposed to escape dangerous places for a better life in America. Not the other way around.
